CCNA Skills Integration Challenge PT Activity 8.6.1 - Task 4

Task 4: Configure Static and Default Routing
Step 1. Configure HQ with a default route to ISP and a static route to the NewB LAN. Use the exit interface as an argument.
Step 2. Configure the Branch routers with a default route to HQUse the next-hop IP address as an argument.
Step 3. Verify connectivity beyond ISPAll three NewB PCs and the NetAdmin PC should be able to ping the www.cisco.com web server.
Let's do it:
Connect to the HQ router and configure default route to ISP:
HQ(config)#enable
HQ(config)#conf t
HQ(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial 0/1/0 (use the exit interface on HQ router)
Now, configure static route to the NewB LAN:
HQ(config)#ip route 10.4.5.0 255.255.255.0 Serial 0/0/1
Configure the Branch routers with a default route to HQ:
B1(config)#ip ro 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.255.255.1
B2(config)#ip ro 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.255.255.5
B3(config)#ip ro 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.255.255.9

Next, check that you have ping www.cisco.com
